Chapter 118: The real purpose of the little white dragon
In the main hall of Guanyin Temple, a statue of Guanyin painted with golden light stands. The huge statue of Guanyin is resplendent in gold and green, giving people a majestic and noble feeling.
Although the sky has darkened and Guanyin Temple has stopped receiving pilgrims, and Jiang Liu and Jin Chi are still sitting nearby, there are still a few monks busy in the hall.
For example, cleaning, or the big merit box, all the money in it must be taken out.
Kick, kick, kick…
However, just when a few monks were opening the merit box, suddenly, crisp footsteps could be heard on the bluestone floor outside the hall, as if someone was tapping a stone on the bluestone floor. It was definitely not the same.
It will be the sound of footsteps when people walk.
This made several monks stunned.
When they turned around, they happened to see an unusually handsome white horse appear, and then they directly raised their legs and stepped into the huge Guanyin Hall.
"Eh? Isn't this Master Xuanzang's mount?" Looking at the white horse entering the Guanyin Hall, several monks in the hall were stunned.
Aren't there other senior brothers who are taking good care of the white horse? Why did he let it run into this hall?
He shook his head. Although he felt that it was inappropriate for several fellow apprentices to not be able to take care of a horse, but since the white horse had broken into the hall, it was just a matter of bringing it back to the stable.
"It is indeed the mount of Master Xuanzang. Even after leaving the stable, it knows how to come to this hall." Looking at the white horse entering the hall, one of the monks couldn't help but joked.
"Hahaha, yes, Master Xuanzang is worthy of being an eminent monk with twelve ring scars. With such a predestined relationship with Buddha, will he be able to achieve the status of Bodhisattva and Arhat in the Western Heaven in the future?" Following the joke, some of the monks next to him laughed.
Nodding.
As he spoke, the monk put down the merit box in his hand and prepared to go get the horse.
However, after taking just two steps, the monk froze, with a confused look on his face.
It turned out that the white horse who walked into the main hall did not pay attention to their words, but walked to the Guanyin statue on his own, then knelt down on his front legs, kneeling on the futon accurately, buried his head, and made a kneeling gesture.
The gesture of prostrating.
"Is this? Master Xuanzang's horse has also become a spirit?" Seeing the white horse bowing to the Guanyin statue, the monks next to him murmured in a low voice, all looking confused.
It’s okay to become a spirit. As a disciple of Buddhism, who hasn’t seen a few monsters? The black bear spirit on the Black Wind Mountain not far away has been a close friend of the master of the hospital for many years.
However, you have never seen a person who has become a spirit and is so aware of the Buddha nature that he would come and kowtow to a Bodhisattva on his own, right?
The white dragon horse knelt quietly in front of the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, with his head lowered. It can be said that he knew he was suffering.
After being enlightened by Guanyin Bodhisattva, he was supposed to join the Buddhist scripture-collecting team, but now he has no name or status, and just follows the Buddhist scripture-collecting people shamelessly. This situation can only be resolved by Bai Longma asking Guanyin Bodhisattva.
The white dragon horse knelt before the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, lowered his head and said nothing.
He also knew that there was no need for him to speak. Guanyin Bodhisattva could also understand his current situation, and I believe the Bodhisattva could also understand the purpose of kneeling here. In this case, there was no need for him to speak.
In the main hall, the monks from the Guanyin Temple looked at me and I looked at you, with expressions of surprise on their faces. Obviously, they didn't know what to choose for the white horse kneeling in front of the Guanyin statue.
After thinking about it, it seems that I should inform Master Xuanzang about this matter?
"Hey, Xiaobai, what are you doing here?" However, before these monks from Guanyin Temple could find Jiang Liu, Sun Wukong came over and looked at the white dragon horse kneeling in front of the Guanyin statue.
asked strangely.
Why did he kneel down in front of the Guanyin statue for no reason?
"Brother, I, I want to ask the Bodhisattva to appear and explain to the Buddhist monks..." Raising his head, Bai Longma looked back at Sun Wukong and told him frankly.
Now that we have passed by Guanyin Temple, it is natural that we should properly pray to Guanyin Bodhisattva for mercy.
Hearing the conversation between Sun Wukong and the White Dragon Horse, several monks in the main hall were shocked. Not only was the monkey a demon, but was the horse also?
Looking at each other, they still felt a little uneasy being alone in a room with these monsters. Immediately, these monks turned around one after another and quickly left the hall, leaving only Sun Wukong and the White Dragon Horse in the hall.
"Are you so earnestly trying to get Master's approval for the purpose of conferring a title on Lingshan?" Ignoring the monks who hurriedly threw them out, Sun Wukong tilted his head and looked at the white dragon horse in front of him. After thinking about it, he asked
asked a question that I have always been curious about.
It stands to reason that as the prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea, Xiao Bailong is arrogant by nature, but in order to get the Western Scripture, he really has no face at all. Sun Wukong has always been curious, but he has never asked.
Today, when I saw him running alone in the main hall to worship the Guanyin statue, Sun Wukong couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Actually, the conferment of Lingshan is only part of the reason." After hearing Sun Wukong's inquiry, Bai Longma hesitated for a moment and replied.
"Oh? Is there any other reason? Tell me about it?" Bai Longma's answer could be said to be within Sun Wukong's expectation. Sun Wukong looked interested, and Sun Wukong asked curiously.
"Actually, I still want to help my uncle redress his injustice." After thinking about it, maybe he trusted Sun Wukong more, or felt that Sun Wukong could help him, Bai Longma said frankly.
"My uncle is the Dragon King of Jinghe River, and he is in charge of raining. However, when it rained in Chang'an City, he did not follow the Jade Emperor's will. The timing and timing of the rain were wrong. Therefore, he was accused by the Jade Emperor and received a knife.
...", Bai Longma said in a low voice.
"Hehehehe, the Jade Emperor is really cruel. It's just that the timing was delayed and the number of raindrops changed a little, so he just killed him ruthlessly." After listening to Bai Longma's words, Sun Wukong bared his teeth and laughed sarcastically.
At this point, Sun Wukong paused slightly, and then said: "It's just that, although this situation is not serious, if the Jade Emperor really wants to punish him for this crime, it can't be considered unjust, right?".
"Yes, if that's the case, it's not an injustice. However, this rain incident happened in Chang'an. My uncle had already asked for the Emperor's forgiveness, but he was still killed. There must be something fishy in this.
", Bai Longma followed.
These words are true. Except for the mistakes in the mission assigned by the Jade Emperor, it is indeed correct to ask the blame. But Bu Yu made a mistake and the city of Chang'an was damaged. The Human Emperor can be regarded as the victim. Since he can ask for the Human Emperor's forgiveness
, thinking about it, this matter can only be regarded as a mistake, but not a sin.
As the saying goes, if the people don't complain, the officials won't investigate.
The Dragon King of Jinghe begged the Human Emperor for forgiveness, and to a certain extent it could be said that he had already kept his secret, but he was still killed. No wonder Xiao Bailong felt that this matter was very strange.
"It's a pity that I'm a humble person, and I'm guilty of a crime, so even if I want to help my uncle investigate the truth, I'm unable to do so. Therefore, Senior Brother, I'm thinking of traveling west this time to confer a title, and to be baptized."
